Apple, Amazon Among Companies Asking GHGP to Make Some Proposed Scope 2 Updates Optional

MT Newswires Live01:57

Apple (AAPL), Amazon.com (AMZN) and over 60 other companies have requested the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, or GHGP, to make some proposed updates to Scope 2 emissions reporting rules optional, according to their joint statement on Wednesday.

As the GHGP reviews feedback on its proposed updates, the companies asked that hourly- and strict-deliverability-matching in the market based method be made optional, rather than mandatory, the document showed.

The companies are concerned that the proposed revisions could result in limited benefits to carbon accounting accuracy, slow down private sector's clean energy efforts, discourage voluntary clean energy procurement, and increase electricity prices for individuals and companies, according to the statement.
